Does the contents of the cookie file look fine after the first invoke? I
especially mean the 'domain/host' part then which should be the ipv6 address.

To me it sounds like the --cookie-jar option might produce a broken cookie
file. Or at least a file that curl won't properly read back again.

It is a bit quirky to get a test case for this going, but I'll see if I can
get something up to verify this.
